I love death metal

[Ars Magna]

You really can't go wrong with Immolation. They have been kicking ass since their demo days.

 

[spikes77]

Immolation is a must J. That album is actually my favorite by the band, but like ars said, you can't go wrong with them. Their 2007 album 'shadows in the light' ruled immensely (and the e.p that goes with it had a great death metal instrumental).

Another dm band you should check out; dead congregation. Some influences from immolation which is never a bad thing. dodens and swizzle will back me on this

 

[swizzlenuts]

yeah, Dead Congregation is fucking awesome. I reviewed it for UM.

 

[J.]

dechristianize is ok. this is actually my first benton listening experience. not all that, imo

 

[J.]

the new amon amarth is solid. i like it more than the last one.

what's the verdict on deathevokation? i keep reading hints of amorphis and unleashed in their sound

 

[skeptik]

Deathevokation has been one of the more refreshing old school death metal acts in recent times, without a doubt. The Chalice Of Ages was very high on my list last year. A split with some band, I can't remember exactly who (it might be Tzun Tzu?) is in the works, scheduled to come out through Nuclear War Now next year probably.

Edit: it's a split 7" with Graveyard (Esp), and it's supposed to be out this year, but we'll see about that.

 

[J.]

cool. i ordered it from gorespastic records or something for $10 p/p

honestly, is any cannibal corpse worth hearing? im just asking in case i see one for cheap.

im going after immolation, runemagick and dismember first.

38. Gorguts - Obscura
39. Nocturnus - The Key
40. Immolation - Failures for Gods

Not that I think Terrorizer is gospel, but I think this list is solid. Taking this list as a template, are there opinions on the stuff from Nocturnus, Cancer and Carnage?

 

[Ars Magna]

Never cared much for Nocturnus, sold my Cancer material (regret that on occasion), and still enjoy Carnage.

The list itself, of course, is fairly damaged. They have a good number of releases correct, but there are at least a few that don't belong.

 

[swizzlenuts]

Carnage is equal if not better than most on that list. I'd say it rivals Dismember's first and Seance's first for one of the best OSDM from Sweden.

Dark Recollectons rules!

 

[skeptik]

Nocturnus - The Key is fucking brilliant, and criminally underappreciated. Carnage is one of the best death metal bands Sweden ever produced. I still need to hear Cancer aside from the third album.

 

[J.]

True. But they got the jist.I know people will point to the AtG album and asked why is it not TRitSiO. Or Onward to Golgotha (which I found just OK, Diabolical COnquest was better), or Dawn of Possession instead of Failures for Gods. Or why the fuck is Sepultura in there?

Still, a decent template.

Myself, I would have added THe Rack.

15. At the Gates - Slaughter of the Soul

butt

Agreed. I think they have a large majority of the correct bands on there, but not necessarily the best album choices.

 

[Anom@nder Rake]

How the fuck the Seven Churches not on a top 40 all-time death metal list? and lol at Deicide being #2. That's still a decent list though.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Death - The Sound of Perseverance is criminally overlooked. Leprosy, Human, Symbolic are amateurish by comparison.

 

[lurch70]

does anything on that Terrorizer list cover the last 10-15 years?

 

[Crimson Velvet]

Should it?

That said, any list acknowledging Slaughter of the Soul as anything but sell-out crap with sprinkles of homo on it automatically invalidated on all levels.
